Agreed...for the most part.
Depending how mechanically inclined you are, how much time you have between now and the anticipated swap, and if the car is your daily driver you might just want to go ahead with the headgasket fix.
Do a leak down test, they're usually more accurate. White smoke = coolant, blue smoke = oil.
By the way, if you are going to do the swap, buy an Engine Gasket kit. That way you can replace all the gaskets before dropping the motor and don't have to worry about deteriorated gaskets making your new purchase run like crap. I wish I had done this.
